I'm trying to figure out a toolchain to use for my system. I can compile the kernel just fine using the MIPS SDE based distribution, but you can't cross compile apps with that. I downloaded and built buildroot and I'm trying to (cross) compile the kernel with it too (I'd like to just use one compiler for everything). I had it use gcc 3.4.5. When I try to compile the kernel with: make CROSS_COMPILE=~/buildroot/build_mipsel/staging_dir/bin/mipsel-linux- I eventually get an error while assembling entry.o: AS arch/mips/kernel/entry.o arch/mips/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages: arch/mips/kernel/entry.S:157: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips32 (mips32) `jr.hb $31' make[1]: *** [arch/mips/kernel/entry.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/mips/kernel] Error 2 I guess this is a "hazard barrier" instruction. Why doesn't gcc 3.4.5 know about it? What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks, Kurt Schwemmer
